News: Kentucky Officials "Changed Votes At Voting Machines"

from the smoking-gun dept.
The indispensible jamie found a report out of Kentucky of exactly the  
kind of shenanigans that voting-transparency advocates have been  
warning about: a circuit court judge, a county clerk, and election  
officials are among eight people indicted for gaming elections in  
2002, 2004, and 2006. As described in the indictment (PDF), the  
election officials divvied up money intended to buy votes and then  
changed votes on the county's (popular, unverifiable) ES&S touch- 
screen voting systems, affecting the outcome of elections at the  
local, state, and federal levels.

“Obiect of the Conspiracv
2. The object of the conspiracy was to deprive the aforesaid qualified  
voters of
their federally secured right to vote and to have their votes given  
full force and effect, by misleading them regarding the operation of a  
voting machine and then changing the votes that they selected, in  
order to secure the election of the candidates supported by the  
Defendants and their co-conspirators.
